    The Mercedes AA class addresses the proprietary form factor.

    if they had free labor, it would almost be worth it. what good is a parts warranty on a piece of garbage that may fail every 3 months?

    you and a few others (j denenberg) have had good success. i wish we had a failure rate, all we see here is mostly complaints, but it's possible many people are having good luck, we just have no way of knowing.
    it's no different than someone who's oem battery goes out at 120k in a non carb state. they're not happy, but it's not everyone's experience.
